Opposition Leader Diefenbaker him- ‘self had said in 1963 that he didn't agree with the views of the smaller parties “but would fight for their righ to express their views.”

Speaker Lamoureux has promised - -

that the issue will be given conside:a- tion. But it seems a pointless one for the Conservatives to emphasize. Their

argument is that time is being wasted...

Not Very Constructive

As if there weren’t enough issues before Parliament, the Conservatives have raised another against the prac- tise of giving time to spokesmen for all opposition parties to comment on government motions and announce- ments made at the start of Commons

“. sittings. They maintain‘ that parties so

recognized should be those with at least 12 members, basing their point on the argument that the Commons had put this definition of a party on the statute books when it agreed in 1963 to pay an extra allowance to leaders of groups with 12 or more “members. If this ruling were followed at the current session, it would exclude the nine: Creditiste and five Social Credit MPs’ from recognition. . Stanley Knowles, veteran NDP member who is considered an expert ‘on-parliamentary procedure, says the

-Tules of the-Commons_-make-it-clear.

that each party, regardless of its size, has the right to speak on motions and announcements, and that to take away ‘this right would be a denial of the ‘wishes of the Canadian people who sent MPs to Ottawa from five parties. ‘The decision to pay allowances to Jeaders of parties of 12 or more he ‘contends, had nothing fo do with this matter.

. A Social Credit spokesman, H.A.

. Olson, argued that while his party

‘only had five MPs in the House they ‘ for almost 400,000 Canadians. ‘A Liberal member, John M. Reid, ac- ‘cused the Conservatives of making re unscrupulous atempe” to silence

‘

in our search for peace throughout: , the world.” He called attention to a

‘| Legislative’Assembly rule which

states that no member shall speak disrespectfully of the Queen or the Governor General. But, he added, “it is my own opinion that no member of our Assembly would do so whether or not that rule were in effect.”

Mr. Robichaud spoke for all of ‘us in this part of Canada at least. No doubt for the Ottawa Liberal hierarchy too, though it appears to have come to the

“conclusion that in the circumstances; the less said about this outburst from its campus followers the better.

Anyway, Murph went on to tell us that he and the other fellows down at National Revenue are —aw shucks, let Murph tell it in his own way: :

There. is no better publicity fora disease or surgical proce- dure than to have a prominent figure undergo the experience. Everyone was interested in the removal of the president's gall- bladder because he is the chief» executive. However, more than 350,000 individuals undergo this operation annually. Another 600,

proximately 140,000 have kidney surgery and we assume that some of these operations are for removal of renal stones. According to a United States health survey, women have more operations than do men. Almost 450,000 lost. their uteri and another 1,519,000 had other stfuctures

At any rate, it is a startlitig and wesome event.

Gouty arthritis is associated with too much urie acid in the blood and tissues. There is an overproduction of this chemical or too little is eliminated from the body via the kidneys. The latter is the most logical expla- nation and the newer remedies,

because they encourage the kid- neys to eliminate more uric | acid. } Dr. Leif’ B. Sorensen of Chi- | cago had a unique opportunity to test this hypothesis. A’ middle- aged man who suffered from gout for 13 years developed a serious renal disorder requiring a kidney transplant. The new’ organ was capable of eliminat- ing uric acid and within two weeks all signs of gout disap- peared. This might be regarded as the first instance of a cure. —
